Arthur,
I read a speed reading book by tony buzan, o.k. speed reading is redundent 
but i read before i knew about pring, he teaches you to read with 'meta guiding techniques'. what was interesting is that he reckons you can read backwards and like 5 lines at a time. that kinda sounds like the preconscious proccessing you were talking about. he also teaches that the eyes are designed to follow movement so it is good to use a visual guide (like a chopstick, or pen) which i do to this day.
there is also that subliminal advertising thing. i watched a programm called darren browns mind control on english terestial and he did a experiment where he asked 3 designers to come up with a new product or some advertisment. the designers took a planned route to the building and along the way darren brown had positioned pictures and words in shop windows etc. The weird thing is that when they had designed the advert darren brown knew what they had designed because he had given them 'sub-liminal messages' on their journey.
Thats the power of the other-than-conscious we can either use it or other people will.
